Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?
 
So I saw my mother watching the news about Kamala being Biden's VP, and when I tried to tell her about some of the shit about Harris, she just said "she wants to do her own research"

So would anyone much, much smarter than point me to any places not here (because unbiased as we may be, our reputation is shit) that will fair on her (or throw shit at her like they should to a dirty cop?)
Unless Kamala throws her in jail, she is a lost cause. Just steal her mail ballot.
 
I don't get the usage of "Uncle Tom" as an insult for black people who side with white people because Uncle Tom died to protect people who escaped slavery.

That's as backwards as calling someone who hates Jews "Oskar Schindler", surely? Both of them were pretending to serve their bosses while trying to help as many people as they could, right?

Or maybe I'm just an idiot, feel free to correct me, but don't be mean about it.

I'm not sure, I haven't read it, I've just skimmed the top of the Wikipedia page which has this quote: "The character was seen by many readers as a ground-breaking humanistic portrayal of an African-American slave, one who uses nonresistance and gives his life to protect others who have escaped from slavery."

"Uncle Tom, the title character, was initially seen as a noble, long-suffering Christian slave. In more recent years, however, his name has become an epithet directed towards African-Americans who are accused of selling out to whites. Stowe intended Tom to be a "noble hero" and praiseworthy person. Throughout the book, far from allowing himself to be exploited, Tom stands up for his beliefs and is grudgingly admired even by his enemies."

"Legree begins to hate Tom when Tom refuses Legree's order to whip his fellow slave."

I think Joe Biden is the best representation of the Democratic party, as it is completely seperated in mind from body.
The party keeps talking about catering to the fringe left and youth -> Chooses an old fart that symbolizes previous establishment.
The party keeps talking about wiping out rule of law -> Chooses a VP that is as authoratarian as it gets.

If it's not them self-sabotaging themselves then it is the result of huge fractures that were left alone until it's too late.
This is why the Republicans are better then the Democrats. Their ideals are consistent, lack contradiction and the rank and file are not comprised of adversial groups (like muslims and LGBT).
 
Do people really think Kamala Harris is a """socialist"""?
I brushed it off as people being unique at first. But now it seems like people genuinely believe it.
"Progressive" is a constantly moving target, apparently.

But yeah, no way in fuck is Harris socialist. She's a bff of technocratic global capital. Literally in a lot of cases, given her hobnobbing in California.
 
This isn't about Biden or Harris, but since Harris got her ass handed to her by Tulsi, how high are the chances Tulci is goi g to do it?

If I remember correctly she also abstained from the impeachment vote of the house.
She's a DINO and iirc has connections with right-wing Indian nationalists, so it wouldn't really be out-of-character imo. She also seems to just like having a platform to talk. Her "abstain" vote had no baring on the result of the impeachment vote, she just used it to draw attention to herself so that she could talk about partisanship.
